Abstract: This paper proposes the design and development of a self-recharging electric cycle tailored for
rural cargo mobility. The concept integrates renewable energy sources to ensure sustained operation in
remote areas with limited access to charging infrastructure. By harnessing solar or kinetic energy during
operation, the cycle autonomously replenishes its battery, enhancing its practicality and reducing reliance on
external power sources. The proposed solution addresses the challenges of rural transportation, offering a
sustainable and efficient means of transporting goods in off-grid environments.

Keywords: electric cycle

I. INTRODUCTION
India is the developing country from many years, because of the issues like population, poverty, pollution etc. To be
developed country these parameters should be controlled or we should find an alternate solution for this. Focusing on
the subject like pollution, this year India became the fifth most polluted country among 117 countries, regions and
territories around the world, assessed. The country’s annual average PM2.5 levels reached 58.1 micrograms per cubic
meter (µg/m3) in 2021, returning to pre- quarantine concentrations measured in 2019. To resolve this problem Indian
government is promoting the alternate fuels such as hydrogen cars, ethanol-based cars, hybrid vehicle, Electric
Vehicles, etc. Among all these alternatives, EV is playing an important solution. In recent years, the increased sensibility
for environmental problems and the growth of carbon dioxide has brought greenhouse effects. People have been focused
on the energy issues and promoted the use of less-polluting vehicles, such as electric Vehicles.Nowadays Indian market
is full of EV vehicles like cars, bikes, scooters, and cycles. But also, in the 21st century the progress of electric vehicles
is slowing down because of some reasons like lower battery range, Inadequate charging infrastructure, cost of an
electric vehicle, less awareness in rural areas. Looking toward the issue of charging infrastructure as the number of
electric vehicles on road will increase the numbers of charging infrastructure will also increase. To promote the number of
vehicles charging stations, Indian government is providing subsidies to entrepreneurs. The second issue of the cost is an
important factor for the development of the vehicle. The 50% cost of the electric vehicle is covered by the cost of its
batteries. Still for the batteries India is depended on the countries like China and Korea. To control the cost of EV’s the
batteries should be manufacture in India itself. As time elapsed all these problems will get solved automatically but
except the core problem of electric vehicle like improving battery range which needs to be studied by group of educated
engineersIn rural areas of India, the development of electric vehicles is less as compared to the urban areas; this is
because of less awareness. Still there are many if and buts in mind of rural peoples with electric vehicles. Due to the
limited exposure and information about electric vehicles, rural residents are not familiar with the benefits, cost
savings, and advancements in EV technology. In rural areas farmers can be the largest consumer of EV if a vital solution
is provided. On Daily basis farmers have to carry a bulky can of milk from his farm to the dairy. Not only the milk cans,
the grain sacks, grass bundles, wood, sacks of fertilizers, pesticides and seeds are being carried by the farmers with
many difficulties. Indian farmers are not as rich as each of them can by own tractor or other cargo vehicle to carry these
entire luggage’s. So, they have to call the cargo vehicles by baying rent among group of 4-5 farmers.Not only in rural
areas same problem of carrying luggages is being faced in urban areas with cycle or human rickshaw drivers and lorry
pullers. In cities like Delhi, Allahabad, and Nagpur the tourist use to travel by cycle rickshaw for a shorter distance and
these rickshaw drivers must pull all these loads without and artificial power source. No doubt cycling is good for your

health, but excessive cycling can cause a harmful effect in human body. The same things happen with lorry pullers as
they pull 200 to 300 kg load on their cart without any help for their bread and butter. Both peoples have to take lot of
efforts to complete their work without care of their health.By concerning all above mentioned issues there is a need to
provide a best solution for betterment of these peoples, which will help to reduce poverty and to increase development
rate of India. Based on the research available the solution is to design and manufacture an electric cargo tricycle which
will be self-rechargeable. A cargo tricycle means a cycle with attached trolley. The aim is to carry 170 kg load. 170 kg
load in the sense 70 kg weight of the passenger, 70 kg weight of the cargo / luggage, and 30 kg self-weight of the
tricycle. The electric cycle in the market is dependable on external charging; it means the driver has to look out for
vehicle charging stations while driving. The function which we are providing is to recharge the batteries of the tricycle
with the help of wheel rotation by using charging units like dynamo or alternator. From the previous research the
alternator is capable to charge only 8 to 10% of the battery, which is the main issue with it. By extracting and
researching on the solution the charging percentage can be increased by 15 to 25 % of overall battery capacity. This
solution will help to make awareness in the rural areas about the electric vehicle that the range of travelling is maximum,
dependency of charging infrastructure, less fear of battery explosion, most useful product for cargo vendors, which will
help to reduce the human efforts.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW


Avesh Khan Et.al. Manufactured a bicycle trolley which is a motor less wheeled frame with a hitch system for
transporting cargo for bicycle. It can greatly increase a bicycle cargo capacity. The trolley may be required for a
specific use, such as the transport of passengers or the movement of a particular type of cargo, or it may be needed as a
general-purpose goods carrier. The trolley has been in existence since a very long time and has been providing human
with ease of carriage of loads rather than carrying it by themselves.
Rupesh Nair et.al. Designed and fabricated a hand truck/trolley that can be connected to the front part of a bicycle
which would convert the bicycle into a tricycle in a way such that the cycle can be used as a bicycle trolley which can
be used for outdoor purchasing as it can carry more load compared to the commercially available bicycles. This trolley
can be detached from the cycle and can be used as our primary cart.
Prof. M. P. Wasnik et.al. Published a paper which deals with the modification of luggage trolley. It is all to increase
the load carrying capacity and reduce human efforts to carry the load. The extra component used for modification of the
trolley consists of dynamo and motor which helps in reducing human efforts to carry load. Addition of extra wheels
distributes the load and hence load carrying capacity increases. We are going to use the renewable energy produced by
the dynamo to run the motor. The mechanism we are using promises to carry a good sum of load with fewer efforts.
Shimamura et.al. Studied the performance requirements of advanced batteries for EV or HEV application, focusing in
particular on the critical aspects of the battery thermal design and construction for system stability. It also explains how
the power output of the lithium-ion battery has been substantially improved for application to HEVs.
Deng, Da studied Li-ion batteries which are the powerhouse for the digital electronic revolution in this modern mobile
society, exclusively used in mobile phones and laptop computers. The success of commercial Li-ion batteries in the
1990s was not an overnight achievement, but a result of intensive research and contribution by many great scientists
and engineers. Then many efforts have been put to further improve the performance of Li-ion batteries, achieved certain
significant progress. To meet the increasing demand for energy storage, particularly from increasingly popular electric
vehicles, intensified research is required to develop next generation Li-ion batteries with dramatically improved
performances, including improved specific energy and volumetric energy density, cyclability, charging rate, stability,
and safety. There are still notable challenges in the development of next-generation Li-ion batteries. New battery
concepts have to be further developed to go beyond Li-ion batteries in the future. In this tutorial review, the focus is to
introduce the basic concepts, highlight the recent progress, and discuss the challenges regarding Li-ion batteries. Brief
discussion on popularly studied “beyond Li-ion” batteries is also provided.
Jenish, Candida et.al. Studied Brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are frequently used in dynamic applications. A
Brushless DC Motor is similar to a Brushed DC Motor, except that as the names indicate, they are electronically
commutated rather than using brushes for commutation. Brushes are utilized in conventional brushed direct current
motors to transmit power to the rotor while they rotate in a fixed magnetic field. Small Brushless DC Motors have

flourished as a result of current power electronics and microprocessor technology, both in terms of price and
performance. This paper will discuss the history of BLDC motors, their different types, construction, operating
principles, and several control mechanisms for driving BLDC motors in various industrial applications.
Salah, Wael et.al. Studied brushless (BLDC) motor control based on rotor position sensing scheme is discussed in this
paper. A PIC microcontroller is employed to generate pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for driving the power
inverter bridge. Parameters required for power PWM generations have been programmed, which provide flexible and
online source code modifications in accordance with the motor and circuit requirements. Hardware implementation and
simulation results show the effectiveness of the developed motor drive. The flexibility offered by the developed motor
control and drive enables the implementation of difference control algorithms for improving the output characteristics of
the BLDC motor.
Mazlan, Rozdman et.al. Had done an energy audit on alternator’s current output and battery’s voltage based on
alternator speed. Up until today, the demand for power in automobile is ever increasing. As technology advances, more
and more electrical devices were produced and being installed in vehicles. To cope with the demand, alternator has
been designed and modified so that it can produce enough power. This research is to study the effect of alternator speed
to the charging system. The car used in this experiment is Proton Preve 1.6 Manual. In both ISO 8854 and SAE J 56,
alternator testing and labeling standards indicate that the rated output an alternator is the amount of current that it is
capable of producing at 6,000 RPM. Three different constant speed of engine which is 750 RPM as idle speed, 1500 RPM
and 3000 RPM as cruise speed were taken as parameter. The speed of the alternator was measured using tachometer,
digital multi-meter was used to measure battery's voltage, and AC/DC Clamp was used to measure alternator current
output. The result shows that the faster the alternator spin, the more power it can produce. And when there is more
power, the faster the charging rate of the battery.
Adamiec, M et.al. Discussed the methodology of testing an alternator at a stand to determine its energy efficiency. The
efficiency was calculated on the basis of the measurement of the electric power supplied to the drive motor and the
power generated by the alternator, taking into account the mechanical and electrical losses of the motor and the belt
drive. The efficiency of the machine as a three-phase synchronous generator, without rectifier and voltage regulator,
was also determined in order to assess the influence of electronic components on the overall efficiency of the machine.
The tests were performed for various rotational speeds and loads. Various physical factors and phenomena that have a
negative impact on the efficiency of energy conversion in the vehicle electrical supply system are discussed.
Et.al manufactured system for automatic generation of energy required to run a bicycle by providing an alternator to
recharge continuously a battery of said bike. First, we are using the existing model of electric vehicle it is run on the
electric capacity of battery. After that we provide the magnetic alternator to generate power for the battery charging. In
self-recharging unit due to the magnetic effect which provide the constant rpm for the rotation of alternator which
produces the electricity which is use for the charging of battery. After rotation of the alternator, it should generate the
electricity at the rpm of near about 3000rpm and when electricity generated after that the battery should charge on the
electricity which provide by the alternator. For the purpose of alternator rotation, we provide torque for the same bicycle
pedal operation to initially rotation of the same alternator after that due to magnetic field effect of the alternator it should
be rotated at near about 3000rpm.
Shubham U. Tayde et.al. manufactured a electric vehicle which is very important our fast life for traveling and this
is also playing very important role in growth of economy but main drawback this bike and vehicle is produce pollution
in environment because of burning fuel. For this reason, increases global warming and also storage of fuel is limited. Due
to that now days need of eco-friendly technology for traveling .e-bike (electrical bicycle) this is nothing but one example
of eco- friendly technology but this technology having some drawback to overcome the drawback of e-bike I have
develop now design self-power generating electrical bike. This design overcomes all the drawback of ebike. Self-power
generating electrical bike is nothing but the self-power generating bike that generate own power by using some
arrangement of equipment and drive the bike without any external energy. This type of bike no need to any external
energy just like fuel or charging of battery by externally .this is charge internally without any effect on operation of
self-power generating electrical bike.

result Concerning power, energy consumption, recharging during brake process, etc. are given. Energy consumption for
3 typical city routes is studied.
GIRISH B KALLIHAL et.al. Described a traction system useful for an autonomous Electric Vehicle of individual use.
The developed system is constituted in a first approach by two different power sources: one is constituted by batteries
and the other by the dynamo. This paper describes a technical solution joining and accomplishing the usage of two
energy storage systems in the same traction system. In the developed system, the dynamo run as element that store
energy temporarily and that can be used to retrieve energy. Starting from the functional characteristics of typical
electrical vehicles and characterization of a typical routing profile, the energy consumption is obtained. In order to
characterize and design the system, this is described in detail, namely the battery, the dynamo, the power converters and
the implemented strategy of control. According to the obtained results, a control strategy that allows an effective
management of the stored energy in the system regarding the vehicle’s optimal functioning and increasing its autonomy
is also presented and discussed.
Zhang, S et.al. Studied a method for estimating the efficiency of electric bicycle power train systems consisting of
typical components, such as an electric motor, gears, sprockets, and chains is presented. To calculate the efficiency of a
power train system, the relationship between the drive motor torque and the road-load that is exerted on the rear wheel
was derived, considering kinematic inertia effects and friction losses between power transmission elements. Among the
factors that influence efficiency, it was found that friction losses play a dominant role, while the effects of inertia are
insignificant. The factors that influence the efficiency of electric bicycles due to friction losses, such as the transmission
efficiency of the chain system and the bearing in the sprocket and wheel, were quantified. To validate the proposed
efficiency calculation procedure, an experimental electric bicycle was used, in which the driving torque and road-load
could be quantitatively assessed, and the actual efficiency was measured on a chassis dynamometer. It is shown that for
a given motor torque, a measured and estimated dynamometer torque obtained by the proposed method exhibits a good
correlation, and the transmission efficiency of each component was quantified. This method provides a practical and
accurate means to calculate the drive train efficiency of electric bicycles at the design stage to improve the efficiency of
electric bicycles.
Nagaraj Sindagi et.al. Designed and analyzed of Self-Recharging E-Bike. The electrical vehicles are powered by
electric motor and electrochemical battery. The main drawbacks of the E-Bikes are limited range, and it consumes more
time to recharge. For charging of E-Bikes, the charging station infrastructure is not fully developed in India. This paper
proposes the design of an E-Bike such that the E- Bike will recharge its battery while it’s in running condition. When
the battery is drained out after a distance range is completed, the recharged battery is switched to run the E-Bike. This
will increase the distance range of E-Bike per charge. This method of switching the batteries will reduce the frequency
of charging from external sources and increases the distance travelled per charge. These bikes can travel longer distance
like conventional fuel bikes. Our proposed Self-Recharging Ebike has the longer distance range for same battery
capacity (per charge) of present E-Bike.

Controller
Generally, here the controller is supplying a voltage to the motor to drive it, and the motor is generating a back emf,
proportional to its speed. If the motor goes faster, its back emf rises and the current (caused by the difference between
the controller’s output voltage and the motor’s back emf) falls. If the motor speed very fast, then the current falls to
zero, as back emf equals controller’s output. It the motor goes even faster than the current must go negative (feeding back
into the controller), as the back emf is now greater than the controller’s output voltage. So, braking starts to occur. The
controller must do something with this current. Crude designs simply dump it as resistive heating, but it is more
efficient (and not difficult) to feed the current back into the battery.

Charging Unit – The Alternator


An alternator is a key component in the generation of electrical power in various applications, most notably in
automobiles. Its fundamental purpose is to convert mechanical energy, often derived from an engine's rotation, into
electrical energy. As per the requirements we are going to use alternator used in Maruti Suzuki Swift car

Charge Controller – The Voltage Regulator


A voltage regulator is a critical component in electrical systems, tasked with maintaining a stable and controlled output
voltage within a specified range. It plays a crucial role in various applications, including power supplies, automotive
systems, and generators. There are different types of voltage regulators, such as linear and switching regulators, each
with its own characteristics. Linear regulators use a series pass element to regulate voltage, while switching regulators
rapidly switch the input voltage on and off, providing higher efficiency. The primary functions of a voltage regulator
include ensuring voltage stability, regulating the output despite changes in load or input voltage, and providing protection
mechanisms against overvoltage and undervoltage. Some regulators also include features like current limiting and
temperature compensation.

Working Principle –
In this electrical system, the tricycle is propelled by a motor powered by a battery. As the wheels rotate during
movement, this mechanical motion is harnessed by an alternator connected to the wheel rotation. The alternator
converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is then used to charge the
battery, creating a closed-loop system.The battery initially provides electrical power to the motor for tricycle
propulsion. Simultaneously, the rotation of the wheels activates the alternator, transforming mechanical energy back
into electrical energy. This electrical energy is rectified to direct current and used to recharge the second battery. AS
the first working battery get discharged the battery swapping will get placed and the vehicle will be driven by the second
battery. Consequently, the system maintains a continuous cycle of converting between electrical and mechanical energy,
ensuring a sustained power supply for the motor and other electrical components as the tricycle moves.If somehow
battery get discharged the tricycle can be driven and charged by means of mechanical pedalling, the chance of
happening such incidence is about 1% only

V. DESIGN CALCULATIONS
Human Effort
Human effort to move a bicycle in a steady state = Speed x (Gravity force + Air drag force + Rolling resistance force +
Wheel bearing resistance force + Bump resistance force + Wheel air resistance force)
Gravity force = 0 N (because the slope is zero)
Air drag force = 1.93 N (assuming a density of air of 1.2 kg/m^3, a cross- sectional area of 0.5 m^2, a drag
coefficient of 1, and a speed of 10/3.6 m/s)
Rolling resistance force = 8.33 N (assuming a coefficient of rolling resistance of 0.005 and a normal force of 170 x 9.8
N)
Wheel bearing resistance force = 0.5 N (assuming a coefficient of wheel bearing resistance of 0.0003 and a normal force
of 170 x 9.8 N)
Bump resistance force = 0 N (assuming a smooth surface)
Wheel air resistance force = 0.1 N (assuming a density of air of 1.2 kg/m^3, a wheel radius of 0.35 m, a wheel width of
0.03 m, a drag coefficient of 0.5, and a speed of 10/3.6 m/s)
The total resistance force is the sum of these forces, which is 10.86 N.
The power output is then equal to the product of the speed and the resistance force, which is 30.11 W.
This means that the minimum human effort required to move a bicycle having a total weight of 170 kg at a speed of 10
km/h on a flat surface with no wind is 30.11 W, which is about 0.18 W/kg of power.

Electrical System Calculation


Motor
As mentioned earlier, consider the combined weight of the tricycle and the load.
Let's assume it's 170 kg (70 kg load + 70 kg human weight + 70 kg tricycle). As we wan to drive tricycle ot the speed of
20 km/hr = 5.56 m/sec
Rolling resistance - Rolling resistance is the force required to overcome friction between the tires and the road. It depends
on factors like tire type, inflation, and road surface. Let's assume a rolling resistance coefficient of 0.02.
Rolling Resistance = Rolling Resistance coefficient * Weight
= 0.02 * 170 * 9.81
= 33.27 N
The total force (F) required to move the tricycle at a constant speed on a level surface is the sum of the force needed to
overcome rolling resistance and the force needed to accelerate the tricycle (assuming no incline or headwind):
Acceleration force = Weight * Acceleration
= 170* 0.556 = 94.52 N
Total Force = Rolling Resistance + Acceleration Force
= 33.27 + 94.52 = 127.79 N
Torque = To calculate the torque required at the wheel (without considering a gearbox), we need to know the radius of
the wheel (r)
T=F*r
T = 127 * 0.3 … (Assuming wheel radius 250 mm = 250 mm) T= 31.9475 N m

Rotation per Minute


RPM = [Speed (m/s) * 60 ] / Wheel circumference
Where,
Wheel circumference = 2 * π * r
= 2 * 3.14 * 0.25
= 1.57 m
RPM = (5.56 * 60) / 1.57
= 212.69 RPM

Power Output = (Torque * Angular Speed ) / 9.5488


= (31.95 * 212.69) / 9.5488
= 0.7115 KW
By the calculation 800 W motor is sufficient but going on safer side we decide to use
1000 W BLDC motor.

Battery Requirement
Energy consumption = 711.5 W
Vehicle travelling range 50 km.
Total Energy Required
= power * Time
= 711.5 * (50,000 m / 20000 m/hr)
= 1778.75 Wh
Battery Efficiency
Assuming 20 % loss
Total energy with efficiency = 1.2*1778.75 Wh = 2134.5 Wh
Battery Capacity
= Total energy / Battery voltage … (assuming 48 V)
= 2134.5 / 48
= 44.47 ah

EXPECTED OUTCOMES
After finalization of the project our Expected outcome will be –
Increase in self-charging efficiency by 15 to 20%.
Increase in range of the vehicle.
Carrying 70 kg load with max speed

EXPECTED PROJECT COST


By considering the component cost & manufacturing cost as compared to available electric cargo cycle our overall cost
will be,
Parameters Available Market Product Proposed Product
Overall cost Rs 150000 Rs 70000 to Rs 80000
